Maybe you didn’t know they were coming, but you’ve probably started to notice them in your email: LinkedIn endorsements. The LinkedIn blog reports.

Does LinkedIn really need endorsements? After all, they already have recommendations. I guess that an endorsement is LinkedIn’s version of a like. Which is all well and good, but ultimately pretty meaningless.

The killer app would be if LinkedIn could figure out how to let you tell the truth about that crappy boss or lazy employee in a way that carried real authority as it prevented spiteful spam. That would be something I could endorse.
